The sapphire substrate material project with a total investment of 120 million yuan was put into production in Qingdao

Localization of sapphire substrate wafer project

It is reported that the sapphire substrate wafer is the core link of the entire LED industry chain. In the past, the manufacturing technology of this product was monopolized by foreign companies. At present, LED substrate wafers used in domestic display, communication, lighting and other equipment are completely dependent on imports. The completion and operation of the Jiaxing Jingdian project has changed the current status of domestic LED sapphire wafers completely dependent on imports. It is expected that the project will occupy more than 50% of the domestic market after the project is put into production. At the same time, the project side is eager to explore the international market and meet the demand of large-scale sapphire wafers from high-end foreign customers.

According to the relevant person in charge of Qingdao High-tech Zone, the commissioning of this project marks that Qingdao's electronic home appliance industry cluster has broken through a technical barrier, filling the gap of China's LED sapphire wafer substrate material, which will greatly enhance the LED industry in Qingdao. The image and level of development.

LCD TV chip prices are expected to drop sharply

At the same time, after the launch of the Jiaxing Jingdian LED sapphire substrate wafer project, it will bring a big impact to the entire industry. Mr. Li, President of Shanghai Blu-ray Technology Co., Ltd. told reporters that the price of imported LED sapphire substrate wafers was about US$78 per piece. After “localization”, it is expected to be reduced to US$17.

Correspondingly, the price of crystal chips used in many electronic products such as mobile phone buttons, display screens, LCD TV backlights, street lighting, etc. will drop significantly. (Qingdao News Network)
